I shall not be able
to handle the subject of the three zodiacal Crosses - the Mutable, Fixed and Cardinal
Crosses - in any detail, owing to the fact that they are concerned with the wholes or
with the syntheses of manifestation and with the unified experience of an
incarnating entity, be it God or man. They can, therefore, be truly comprehended only by
those with an inclusive consciousness, i.e., with an initiate-awareness. Some general
comments can, however, be made.

These three Crosses are as you know:

1. The Cross of the Hidden Christ - The Mutable Cross

This is the Cross of the four major energies which produce the conditioning
circumstances which transform animal man into an aspirant.

It is, therefore, the Cross of the personality or of the steadily developing and finally
integrating human being. This takes place at first in response to circumstance and later
to soul inclination.

It is the Cross of temporal and temporary change, of fluidity and of those constantly
altering environments which drive the soul within the form from one extreme of experience
to another, so that the life shuttles between the pairs of opposites. [554]

It is the Cross of the responsive form, nurturing and developing the life of the
indwelling Christ, the hidden Soul or Lord of Being.

The four arms of this Cross are Gemini - Virgo - Sagittarius - Pisces. It is sometimes
called the Common Cross because it conditions the common herd, the mass of humanity.
